The weekend was quite ok.. I got to go down to school to check out how things were.. Its good that what ever little I've done, pans out to be alright in the end.. I'm thankful for that..

Got to spend time with dad, for what probably is, the longest time since he's been back.. Went to play soccer at the field with my sis, and he came along.. So we got the "lao jiang" (direct translates to old champ) to show us what he was still capable of.. And I do mean, "jiang".. It was really fun! Then it was labour again, as I moved the old TV to my grandma's place.. We got a new TV after renewing our home internet plan.. So my grandma would have a bigger TV at her place now.. Still, climbing 4 stories up with that TV was crazy, even when dad was carrying it on the other side.. Ryl just kept "cheering".. I laughed too much that we had to stop for a while since I can't carry.. Getting it to the stairs was one thing, and carrying it up was another!

Then we went to Godpa's place.. Supposed to only have dinner there, but it actually turned out to be Godma's birthday as well! She so pai seh until she cut her cake once she brought it out of the freezer.. We haven't even put the candles on, let alone sing the birthday song.. I missed my cousins.. Quite a while since I've seen them together.. Recently, it would be the bad timings that disallow me to sit around and talk with them..

3 straight days of fieldwork kills!

This means waking up 6.30 in the morning and heading out to Changi Ferry Terminal.. I'm really tired, but there's lotsa blood samples to be drawn and collected there.. Today, it was just me and Janet as "traffic" wasn't expected to be high.. I'm still wondering how 300+ totally different names can appear in one construction site! What's worst is, when some people don't register early enough, I'll have to write their freakin' long name down twice!

For the past few weeks, I've been preparing solutions for my Turkey cell cultures.. Its really labour intensive, and yet it takes some time before it actually is ready for use.. I said that it was like some kind of wine.. The fieldwork and Turkey cell preperation is enough to sap out my energy.. I miss the PCR days! But so happened, during my free time today, I got to do one run! I got all my PCR reports into my book at last! I was too lazy to print my last run, so I would go back to the lab tomorrow and finish up what's left undone today..

I got to play tennis with Hao Ming yesterday.. He's one of my collegues in the lab.. I haven't played for quite sometime, since my second common tests to be exact.. It was good that I could still hit and move around, but not as good as last time though.. I wanna play more! The game ended at 6-3 4-5, with me winning the first set while the second hung in the balance.. Well, not really, I was just making a comeback to make the score look more even..

Hmm, I feel that somethings I've mentioned in my last post was kinda "off".. Well, someone gave me a little pep talk.. It woke me up, and I think I'm happier now that I want to improve on what I have been doing so far.. So, I'll sincerely apologise to my fellow organizer.. Davin, so sorry! Its me that should really change my way of doing things, but I still hope you'll communicate with me more and share what you're thinking and what your plans are..

Still, there are other things that haven't really been settled yet, but we'll leave it to another time..

I got a day off tomorrow! Well, not really.. My safety induction was brought forward, so I still have to go back to work.. And after that, I would still need to go to the lab to finish my 2 reports, and then it down to school.. I hope the GLs are doing well.. Had a good laugh with a few of them on Monday.. Really had a good "insight" to their thoughts..

Hmm, 130 forms to colate, 26 down, and 104 more to go.. Tired tired.. Maybe I'll continue it tomorrow.. The long weekend seems to be kicking in already!
